This report has gone through an external and internal peer review process, which targeted a broad range of stakeholders including within the Education Sector at UNESCO headquarters and in the field, Internal Oversight Service (IOS) and Bureau of Strategic Planning (BSP). These guidelines were also piloted at a Regional Workshop on Inclusive Education in Bangkok. A wide range of experts from the Asia Pacific region provided feedback for further development. Finally, this document was circulated to Steering Committee of the Flagship “The Right to Education for Persons with Disabilities: Towards Inclusion.” This document is a response to the need for a systematic approach for identifying excluded groups. It is intended to be a “living document” which serves as a dynamic tool of analysis which will be revised in the coming years to reflect the reality of marginalized and excluded children.
